The Future of Facilities Management: Harnessing Technology for Data-Driven Decisions, AI, and Predictive Maintenance

Exploring Opportunities, Transformations, and Future Trends

In our personal lives, we’ve embraced the evolution of technology. Think about how quickly we went from rotary phones, to pagers, to mobile devices. In the facilities industry, waves of technology have risen from toolboxes, to controlling A/C and monitoring energy use remotely.

Now, everyone is talking about AI in FM.

Here’s the good news. This is not Terminator. Your problem-solving, diagnosis, and information-gathering skills will be elevated, not eliminated. It will help you and your teams work smarter, not harder.

In this presentation, David Trask, National Director, ARC Facilities will address the acceleration of technology in FM and explain its value in the daily lives of technicians.

Attendees will walk away from this presentation with a better understanding of:

The evolution of technology in our everyday lives and the impacts today
How predictive maintenance strategies help orgs transition from a reactive, break-fix approach to a proactive maintenance environment
Why operating buildings will continue to require a more sophisticated skill set
How technology tools can help elevate your team
How technology and AI can help you better predict your long term planning needs

David Trask, National Director, ARC Facilities, is a keynote speaker, host of the Facility Voices podcast, author, and thought Leader in the facilities management industry. David focuses on helping hospitals, universities, K-12 districts, and other organizations leverage innovative technology to drive efficiency in the facilities management industry through thought leadership and advocacy. He has presented at numerous facilities, associations, and conferences, including IFMA, ASHE, APPS, and NFMT as well as regional events such as AAHE, HISHE and regional IFMA chapter conferences.
